  • The CFTC’s recent dedicated fintech effort, LabCFTC, and its two primary components: an inward facing CFTC 2.0 and an outward facing GuidePoint.
  • The CFTC’s fintech efforts in comparison to other U.S. and foreign regulators’ initiatives, such as, the U.S. OCC’s Office of Innovation, the SEC’s approach to regulating virtual currency-related products and regulatory sandboxes that have been created by various foreign regulators.
